Spent 4 hours today at Little River, trying to promote the www.rideforever.co.nz training subsidies.
It went fairly well, spoke to lots of bikers, all quite positive.
Even with those who didn't have the licences they should have, and who got tickets. They are having to choose between a training session and paying the ticket, hope it's not too tough a choice.
Sour note at the end of the day when a bloke took offence that ACC has contracted one training provider, and he felt that I was promoting that training providers business while working for the gubbermint.
I was actually promoting rider training, mostly funded by ACC, and I couldn't GAF about who provides that training. As it happens, ACC have contracted providers. Not my fault, but I got an earful about it.
It's the leftover promo stuff from the checkpoint that I'm posting out. I'd rather it went to riders than sat in a box under my shared desk.
The rant I got from the last bloke has left me feeling like it was a bad idea, trying to promote training. Just a feeling. I think that on balance it was great, but I'm feeling a bit down about it.
Problem is, I GAF. Sure life would be easier if I didn't.
About more than donuts.

It's true isn't it? you can't give it away. I knew there would be at least one fuckwit who had to complain. Probably didn't have a job or a bike and couldn't afford the 50 sovs for the training or he's a rival trainer to Dan O. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Now watch someone ruin this by bringing in the truth!Spent 4 hours today at Little River, trying to promote the www.rideforever.co.nz training subsidies.

Good on you - choice between training and a ticket..no brainer! Seems like a good idea and 50$ for a whole day is nothing!

I think that you know on here at least that most people can and do appreciate your efforts. Those that don't can go get fucked mate, they don't deserve your time effort or perseverance.
Every day above ground is a good day!:

I was serious when I said that I thought it was you on the Pegaso a couple of weeks back. Not many of them left.

Should have batoned the fuckwit into submission before pepper spraying him, zapping him with a taser and setting a dog on him

Nah, not my scene. Did consider lecturing him to death, but he got in first.
Don't think he's a fuckwit. We just don't see eye to eye, and instead of having a reasoned discussion about it and agreeing to disagree, he just got angry.

Got what you're giving away at my last ACC subsidised course thru the local council. Good on you for not residing on planet DILLIGAF, your profession alone is thankless enough at times.
The whole training topic is a heated one at times, irony being that those who need it most are often the most resistant to enrolling in training of any kind...

In the UK we were allowed to use "Reasonable Force". I think the above meets that definition :-)
